thank you! i joined recently and i was a bit scared to say anything at first but everything is really nice and i’m excited to be here

Manifesting another song with Tim Larcombe (Off to the Races, Gods and Monsters, Cherry, I Talk to Jesus)

Yes. An Antonoff/Dean "bombastic" album would be heaven.

Two thoughts on this Monday morning: 1- could DNC mean Desert and Country? The waves being associated with the country part of the land… 2- Loved You Then and Now having a more « bombastic sound » is not that much of a reach, if you consider it was track 8 on the early COCC tracklist. When that song got removed, she tentatively put Dealer in its place to « shake things up » on the album, which makes me think that LYTAN was the first choice to have the « second part » of this album and that it has a different sound from both Norman and Chemtrails.

i feel like lana already has the concept for LDR9 and it is going to be this (as everyone here assumes) “bombastic” scrapped side of cotcc/nfr. it seems like everything is adding up - not long time ago she added a picture of jack, and on the variety awards she revealed that her next album is going to be better than cotcc/blue banisters - knowing that before the release of norman lana knew it is some of her best work, i think she’s not wrong about LDR9 now. another sign could be wearing nfr inspired jacket on the red carpet, she might suggest us that something as big as that record is coming again. and going back to the part about lana working with jack - maybe they’re recording or reworking some songs to make them fit lana’s vision of the record better? i don’t know, but i’m really excited for whatever is coming

I agree, I think she’s getting ready for another big release. One with a lot of promo and singles maybe. I think it’s going to become a career-defining album for Lana. One as well-known as BTD or NFR. I think we will hear a style from Lana we haven’t heard in a long time or something completely new. Jack is a very talented producer in my unpopular opinion, and I believe that him and Lana always create magic together. Also, welcome to LanaBoard! I noticed you are new here

I WENT DOWN TO WOODSIDE vibes manifesting

I'd be here for a glam-country aesthetic for LDR9. Like a 70s Dolly Parton type of vibe

why not

don’t get me wrong nfr and cocc are great albums, i just think lana should try something new now a dean “bombastic” album does sound fantastic

my ex-boyfriend, if this happens then we've hit the bottom, you were rock candy sweet so i loved you then MUSIC MAFIA EXCLUSIVE and now

as someone w bpd i find this speculating beyond inappropriate and reckless and lmao "6. her live fast die young tattoos"

I'd live for bombastic songs with fantastic, breathtaking production and beats making us choking and screaming at the same time

Trolling or not, it is extremely fucked up and weird. How immature do you have to be to disrespect a woman mourning a family member's death all for attention? I swear, these Twitter trolls really must have no friends or life in the real world (cause who would want to associate with a person like that) so they desperately seek attention online and put on some baddie-troll persona when in reality they're an anti-social, awkward gay boy and probably get dumped into trash cans at school

Just can’t get enough of their music, Discuss everything DM here. EDIT, @The Ocean gave me the idea for making this beautiful thread for this Iconic band. @slut4davegahan

i was thinking... if lana has borderline personality disorder i must have it too! because i relate to her music A LOT! regardless of what behavior she displays, i don't think we could ever say for sure what's actually going on inside of her head because they're just song lyrics which are artistic & exaggerated, & none of us are doctors who know her personally even if she did have the disorder it's nobody's business & it's not anybody's place to speculate

I second this.

I’ve been thinking about this record so much lately, and how its entire composition would be so important in the years to come. Lyrically, God Knows I Tried and Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood are, in a way, alternative responses of some of the tracks on Blue Banisters that address public relations. That sentiment is portrayed so implicitly but powerfully on Honeymoon. It’s truly her in album form and is very much a portrait that is diaristic as it is stylized. Forever my favourite <3

or sample one of those in a nostalgic hazy psychedelic 5 min long bridge

fiona is a literal legend i don't think you understand the scope of her influence everyone listens to her from kanye to ariana grande from florence to lana

wtf are yall smoking text you pictures is a bop

The fact that the directors board thingy in that picture for the baby MV says 9/1/2021, guessing they shot that and new shapes at the same time? surprised they got 3 music videos shot before good ones even dropped - visual album incoming!

I wouldn't be mad at all if Jack has a part in this project. COCC has grown exponentially on me in the second half of this year and NFR is fantastic That being said, I would love to hear more work with Mike and Zach as well And of course daddy Rick

lock it up is being that girl lately

the janet one !

YES!!!! now imagine Mike Dean worked on these songs in addition to him

A LFL sized mess

OH. MY. GOD.

Finallyyy And we actually get to see her for a couple of seconds against all odds!

Hate it or not. This selphie will alway be remembered as a milestone of her career that traumatized y'all for months for the sake of her PicsArt era. Iconic af Just made a vinyl edition as well (translucent, ofc)

This is extremely weird. Digging through her music trying to find symptoms to diagnose her with a disorder is invasive and incredibly creepy. It's her life, not ours. We should not be digging this deep into lyrics to try and fit them into a puzzle to get a conclusion. It is obvious you're looking for evidence to fit a narrative and not looking at evidence and coming to a conclusion which makes this 100x more fucking weird. If she has BPD and wanted us to know, she would share it and that's good for her if she's comfortable with that. If she has it and doesn't want us to know, then that's her right. What is the point of this?

I personally do not like the recent trend of artists working with only 1 producer on a whole album, but I am nowhere near mad at another Jack-featured album. I know some people were disappointed with the COCC production, but I feel like Lana wanted the album to be more lowkey and not as intense sonically as NFR, not Jack. It is a nice contrast and follow up. Producers do not have full control over how a song sounds, the artist tells them the vibe and they do what they feel fits or they work together. I'm sure if Lana asked for another NFR, he would have given her one. Or if Lorde asked for another Melodrama, he would've given her one

yes especially if there are other producers/influences on the album

i think we’ll get 4 videos this era, 5 if we’re lucky

listening to retro dance freak and missing that gaga.. work it out cause you don't care shut down like software

Nah I did not glorify it. The selphie was traumatizing but it is no doubt iconic as well.

she’s really saving the best for last huh

Masochism will be better than the Fione albums.. we will win

when she samples MUSIC MAFIA in the bond inspired bop of ldr9

No, thankfully not

Fiona 3 years (Jul. 1996 - Nov. 1999) 5 years (Nov. 1999 - Oct. 2005) 6 years (Oct. 2005 - Jun. 2012) 7 years (Jun. 2012 - Apr. 2020) Sky? 8 years + (Oct. 2013 - Present) Fiona's never had a bigger gap than this between albums.

What I said applies to a very specific group of people and refers to a larger cultural problem, rather than a couple witty jokes here and there like you seem to think I am taking an issue with. I myself as an OG fan know exactly the overblowing on Tumblr you're talking about and I had a disdain for it then, too, so it's not exclusive to just new fans –– it is a type of fan that is just more visible now. I, too, didn't relate to the extremities on their part in terms of trivializing or blaming Lana for their deep-seated issues, but I never thought something was wrong with me for not relating to that. I knew then and I know now how a large portion of listeners (of any artist) instinctively project their issues onto the artist with whom they resonate. I agree that music taste indicates parts of your personality, but let me be clear that I was referring to the generalizations people make based on said music taste, the rampage of which only continues to stigmatize topics at the risk of marginalizing mostly women. People poking fun at women for having 'daddy issues' because they listen to Lana points to a bigger cultural problem where we blame women for psychological distress caused by their emotionally or physically absent fathers. Lana is not to blame for someone's psychological issues. The reality is that those issues were already there and, perhaps, Lana is being used as a scapegoat. And that's not to fully vilify the fans, either – I can recognize where those behaviours come from and feel sympathetic that they have to manipulate the music like that. But I don't have to excuse it. Perhaps that sounds like 'gatekeeping' – but to that, I would encourage you to see the nuance in which I initially made that post.

Thats the reason why lana dont thanks fans in her speechs anymore

SNL could have at least played the New Shapes or Good Ones music video during the show to at least create some promo since its their fault it got cancelled last minute

She better put the final form of Every Man Gets His Wish/Hawaiian Tropic/On Our Way/Spin Me Round/etc on LDR9. So many good parts in those songs and it would be a shame if they never end up officially released

welcome! i joined 5 years ago and didn’t say anything until the pandemic and i definitely don’t regret joining the conversation. glad to have you here!

Text You is clicking so hard now uuugh the gay me of 2011 is so happy for this leak

the music video snippet gives me such xcx world vibes, filmed inside the tower of xcx incorporated

Doesn't exist some pages ago I remember complaining about how my CD didn't include Again Again in lossless, instead it had a 128 kbps of the song AND IT WAS AN ORIGINAL CD but damn, Lana did the same with Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend and Cherry Blossom in Blue Banisters... I wonder what's the bright side on doing that All I want is to put my hands again on that explicit demo of the song I had it ages ago and then switched computer and lost it forever, and I haven't found it anymore.
